Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

As the sun rose, the thick fog surrounding the mountain peak dissipated, and red rays of dawn appeared on Lingyun Peak, illuminating the bright summit and reflecting the colorful rocks.

Today, Lingyun Peak was exceptionally lively, adorned with lanterns and decorations everywhere, and red 'double happiness' characters pasted all over the pavilions.

Ye Jingyong, as the second oldest in the 'Jing' generation, and now at the ninth level of Qi Refining, would have been qualified to be an elder in the family in the past.

Therefore, the family also placed great importance on his wedding.

Ye Jingcheng had also arrived early and was among the crowd, watching the wedding proceedings with several elders and clansmen.

The entire wedding ceremony wasn't grand, but it was well-organized.

As time passed, several spirit boats from the Chu family flew in from afar.

They landed in front of the prepared pavilions at the foot of the mountain.

Sounds of ceremonial music began, and auspicious small beasts transformed into a beastly procession, following the welcoming team from the foot of the mountain to its waist.

Ye Jingyong, dressed in a scarlet robe and riding a handsome horned horse, was in high spirits at the front of the procession, welcoming Chu Yanliu to the peak.

He held his head high, his face full of joy.

At this moment, even though there were still ties between the families, it was the most joyous moment for him.

Behind the welcoming procession, there were also members of the Chu family following.

The Ye family glanced at them and saw that they were mostly female relatives, seemingly indicating that the Chu family wanted to arrange more marriages.

Ye Jingcheng watched for a while and realized that the entire wedding was not much different from a mortal wedding; after the brief excitement, only trivialities remained.

Banquets and grand ceremonies.

For the entire day, Lingyun Peak was bustling with noise.

Ye Jingyong drank spirit wine, raising his glass in celebration, and became completely drunk.

Today, he couldn't use his spiritual energy to dispel the effects of the alcohol.

Ye Jingcheng found a corner and sat at a table with Ye Jingli and others, enjoying the drinks to his heart's content.

This banquet had plenty of spirit fish and other spirit delicacies and wines, as well as the Chu family's specialty, Water Clarity Pears, each one round and full, rich in spiritual water, which could be equivalent to half a day of hard cultivation for cultivators.

Soon it was dusk, and just as Ye Jingcheng thought that it would end like this, he saw the family token flashing.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat puzzled, but he hesitated and headed towards the family council hall.

When he entered the hall, he found Chu Xiyu from the Chu family and Ye Jingyu already there.

They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, and besides attending the wedding, the Chu family clearly had other important matters to discuss.

"The Ye family is truly an old and established family, with each of its younger generations being extremely outstanding. I, Chu, am thinking of arranging another marriage!" Chu Xiyu said with a hearty laugh.

"If the Chu family's talents have someone in mind, they are welcome to propose it. Our Ye family has many fine daughters as well!" Ye Xingliu replied with a smile.

They exchanged knowing smiles.

They both knew the other's flattery.

After the small talk, Chu Xiyu looked at Ye Xingliu and the others.

"Now that everyone is here, I, Chu, won't beat around the bush. Fen-shu has returned to the family mountain, and his intention is that our two families don't have a good way to make money. Why don't we each send a person to Taichang Market to get a small shop? Your Ye family produces pills, and my Chu family refines artifacts, so we can take care of each other!" Chu Xiyu slowly said.

The meaning of his words was very clear.

The Chu family had also advanced to a Violet Palace family, with Chu Tianfen successfully breaking through.

And they planned to bypass Taihang Market and go directly to Taichang Market.

For Taihang Market, they would inevitably have to confront the Xu family.

The Xu family was an old Violet Palace family, and if they confronted each other, neither family would be able to profit in the short term. To revitalize the family's finances, they had to go to the grander Taichang Market.

That place was backed by the Taiyi Sect, and there were more rogue cultivators and small families.

For both families, it was indeed a better decision.

"Moreover, my Chu family has already found a shop, and it's just waiting for the approval of the in-laws!" Chu Tianfen raised his head and took out a jade slip, which was activated with a spiritual incantation.

A picture of a small shop appeared inside.

Ye Jingcheng had seen this street before; it was the street entering the market. Although it was a bit out of the way, the location was indeed excellent!

"As for the rent, my Chu family will bear 40%, and your Ye family will bear 60%. There are no other rental fees. Your Ye family can even sell spirit beasts, but unlike Taihang Market, there is no courtyard for placing the spirit beasts!" Chu Xiyu continued to introduce.

"I must communicate this matter with my grand-uncle; he is still in seclusion!" Ye Xingliu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

For both families, the most important thing about opening a shop in Taichang Market was how to transport spirit stones and spirit medicines there.

This problem was more serious.

Taihang Market was closer to their family mountain, making it less dangerous, but the opportunities there were high, and so were the dangers.

In particular, rogue cultivators especially liked to rob cultivators who came from across the county.

Some rogue cultivators were even raised by immortal cultivation families themselves.

They didn't show themselves on weekdays, but when their finances were bad, they would go out and make a killing. This was not impossible.

After all, the Ye family was not the only family that concealed its experts on a death list.

And the Ye family could not easily trust the Chu family.

Before this, the Chu family had plotted against the Ye family, and the Ye family had retaliated in Jade Departure Valley.

The fact that they could be together now was entirely due to the exclusion policies of the Xu and Mo families.

Chu Xiyu knew Ye Xingliu's concerns and did not urge him. Instead, he said:

"Don't worry, Patriarch Ye can ask more questions, and even study the sales plan. In addition, my Chu family will also be holding a Violet Palace ceremony in two years. We hope that the Chu and Ye families can grace us with their presence at that time!" Chu Xiyu continued.

Ye Xingliu naturally agreed to this without hesitation.

The two families' Violet Palace ceremonies were only half a year apart, which would not delay other families and cultivators.

And the marriage between the two families could also increase their weight.

After chatting for a while longer, Chu Xiyu left, but Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Haiyun stayed behind.

"What do you all think about opening a pill shop?" Ye Xingliu asked.

"Jingcheng, speak first. You are now our family's number one pill refiner."

"Third Uncle, Fourth Grandfather, in my opinion, this time, the family can go, but even if we go, we must strive for more benefits. I think the Chu family's purpose is not just artifact refining. They also have a lot of power in the sect behind them. I am worried that they will resell and involve us!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Chu Tianfen broke through in Taichang Market, which was enough to show that the Chu family's connections were not weak.

Moreover, his daughter was married to a Taiyi Sect's pill refining grandmaster.

So for the Ye family, they must understand the situation clearly in advance.

Otherwise, the Chu family alone would be fully capable of opening a shop.

They would not need to call on the Ye family again.

"Jingcheng is right. I will have the family investigate this!" Ye Xingliu nodded.

"Fourth Uncle, do you have any opinions?" Ye Xingliu asked Ye Haiyun again.

"No problem, but it's best to delay it first and prepare for the Violet Palace ceremony first!" Ye Haiyun said.

The others also nodded. Currently, for the entire Ye family, the Violet Palace ceremony was indeed the most important!
